[OOC] Kokoro Academy - A My Hero Academia RP (12/12 Slots)

@ERode

Yeah that's what I mean. If shes a tank, Hiroki can help her move quicker is all I'm saying, providing the thrust.

Other than that, she seems like she doesn't really need any help due to power or precision, both having their uses and thus providing greater versatility. All I can think of for now is Hiroki supporting her with heat dissipation as a combo.

But Im sure there is some super attacks I can come up with given some thought.

[Scribe of Thoth]

@ERode I meant more like he teleports down so he only falls 10 feet rather than 20. There's also multiple jumps in a row assuming there's no immediate threat waiting below that requires him to be in peak condition so he has time to recuperate after.

[The Red Seelie]

Gimme a moment... I'mma go make a comprehensive list of combos for Circe...

[ERode]

Basically built her like Wulfgram and Iida's baby, so yeah, it's expected that she doesn't need much help in any direction. Pls no Hiroki thrusts from behind. (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

1. Fix Shun After Our Tactics Mess Up And He Ends Up Doing 20 Jumps In A Row And Fries His Brain™

[ShwiggityShwah]

@ERode

Why you gotta make it weird? XD

@1Charak2

Turbo Rush Attack - It all about getting Circe in the fight quicker and dealing with long range or flyers. A boost at her back, and on one of her feet to kick off and Hiroki can launch her at the enemy or have her reach those high places. Her accelerated body can probably take the forces involved and even survive the impact. Hiroki then jets in behind her so they can reach the enemy at the same time, momentum and jets powering a decisive mega punch!

[Scribe of Thoth]

@ShwiggityShwah Gomi can do his goo armor thing on Shun (with Ieva possibly riding along inside something black), Hiroki launches them, Shun glitches out of Gomi at the last second and then hits from behind while they get smacked with a slimy cannonball from the front.

@Scribe of Thoth

Now youre getting into Tri-Techniques, and we'll be here all day! So lets keep doing it >D

[ERode]

Should probably move to the Discord at this point, so we don't clutter up the OOC too much.

[Cio]

Lol yeah, that's an idea

[Toots]

I'll be making my decision for the last slot by the end of the day. It's 7AM right now for me.

I think there are 4 of them right now. I'll see if any get added within th day.

[ERode]

@TheWindel Seems like if you can go ham and get that sheet out before Toots's day ends, you'd be up for consideration.

[TheWendil]

@ERode

Eh. I’ll just wait for another time. Too much effort.

[TheWendil]

@ERode, @Toots.

I lied. Sue me.

Houki Orimura

Height: 150 Cm ✴ Weight: 75 lbs ✴ Age: 16

---

✴Appearance:

Houki Orimura isn’t usually considered the notable type. Apart from her short stature and prim-red glasses she keeps around at all times, she’s not that much distinguishable from the typical Japanese school-girl. Most of her outfits reflect this appropriately, Houki often seen in whatever uniform of the school she’s attending. Due to her Quirk however, her glasses are all of the same brand and material, made of the toughest to hold back bullets.

Perhaps at some point in her life, Houki was self-conscious in the demeanor her looks gave off or how "nerdy" she could appear. But with the power that came with Quirks, she frankly had bigger problems to be dealing with than personal image. As a result, she solemn changes her appearance, choosing to forsake additions such as make-up and other cosmetics. She's fine with coming across as a bookworm; controlling her Quirk is more prioritizing anyway.

✴Quirk:

Houki’s Quirk is called Death Glare, an Emitter-Type Quirk. This Quirk allows Houki to emit red beams from her eyes by glaring; the more intense her glare is, the more focused and deadlier the beams become. At the moment, the beams are only hot enough to melt through thickened wood. Each beam has width and volume similar to a soda can’s and she can only fire two, one for each eye, at the same time.

The more she uses her Quirk, the more Houki suffers from intense, painful migraines. These migraines may become so great that she is unable to use her Quirk for some time until she recovers with rest. Prolonged overusage will cause her to pass out. Her glasses are natural deterrents to her Quirk, made of dense enough material to keep small beams from passing through. A misplaced scowl only results in broken glasses and more money spent in fixing them.

✴Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy:
  “Eh? Well, that’s…um, I believe that a Hero can come from anywhere. Anyone with a Quirk, big or small can do it, right? And all Heroes have Quirks, so it shouldn’t matter where you graduate from. Heroes all have the same mission at the end of the day and that’s to protect people! So, it doesn’t matter what school you went to…even one with Kokoro Academy’s reputation.”
• Why do you want to be a professional hero:
  “Me? Well…I think most of all, I want to help people. Fighting bad guys sounds cool and I think I can probably do that with my Quirk. But sometimes I feel like I’m doing more harm than help with it…so I want to make sure people can rely on me, even if my Quirk is dangerous. I want to be someone who can beat the baddies and rescue people.”
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become:
  “I want to try out being a Hero who goes on the frontlines and fight villains. I feel like my Quirk would be super effective as a power against them. At the same time though, I don’t want to hurt people caught in the crossfire if I can’t control it…my head says a villain fighter, but my heart says to be a support Hero. That way, I can make sure I’m actually protecting civilians.”
• Best describe yourself in five sentences:
  “I’m clumsy. Sometimes I doubt myself too much. And I’m scared my Quirk will seriously hurt someone one day…but I want to try. I want to learn. And I want to become a Hero who helps people.”
• What are you interests and hobbies:
  “O-Oh! Well, if we’re on the topic…I like reading! Reading calms me down and I can get lost in another world. Weird, I know, since we’re living in a world of super Heroes and villains, heh. Oh, and I like going out for karaoke too! Sometimes I’m not that great at it but it’s good exercise you know. Gotta keep those vocal chords strong and healthy! And I like sketching sometimes, but I don’t think I’m very good at it. The lines and colors just don’t mix when I-”
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of:
  “Um…does burning the school tree down in kindergarten count? It was an accident!"
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it:
  “My Quirk? Well, it really gives me a migraine if I overuse it. Let’s see, what else…oh! My glasses are kind of like stabilizers so I don’t just shoot my beams everywhere. They’re super expensive though so I’ve been wearing this pair since kindergarten-eh? No it wasn’t after the tree incident! Please don’t write that down!”
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot:
  “Aside from my Quirk, I think I don’t have much going for me. But I want to learn. I want to know how I can control this Quirk of mine and become a Hero who can save people. Rescue or combat. I think it’s this drive of mine…my desire to control this power…that’s what’s keeping me going. That’s why I want to get in. I'm willing to put the effort where others won't.”

[Argonaut]

hey there, is there room for one more?

[ERode]

There's one spot left that a bunch of people are competing for. Think the GM's deciding soon-ish as well, so if you think you can slip in a CS before then, go for it.

[Toots]

@Gisk@Katthaj@Durnehviir@Asura. Thanks for posting your apps, but for the last slot, I've decided that I'd give it to @TheWindel. I based it on the amount of variety his character can give to the current pool of students and on how his quirk is easier to regulate given its simplicity.

@ERode@Duoya@Scribe of Thoth@Cio@Stern Algorithm@Animal@vFear@Delta44@1Charak2@ShwiggityShwah@Lugubrious

Just to reiterate, the current setting of the RP assumes that none of the canon characters exist; schools, locations, and events (to a certain degree) would probs be the same. For the current ranking of heroes, I'll eventually be giving out the Top 10, but for now, we'll just make do with Japan's current number one.

Japan's #1

The Thunderous Hero, Brontide

Brontide has held the top rank among Japan's heroes for the last five years. He's a man of little words and is of limited emotion, given is deadpan demeanor, but is adored by most kids due to his derpy appearance; he too is fond of children. In terms of strength, speed, and technique, he's definitely a powerhouse; probably a mix between Endeavor and All Might.

Feel free to ask any questions about him.

[ERode]

Does Brontide have a catchphrase like "I AM HERE"? And I'm guessing that he's a Mutant-type, right? This isn't a transformation of his, just an ordinary form? Is he popular with an older audience as well, or do they treat him with less fanatic devotion as All Might and his harem of fangirls? Also, was he someone who was always around top 10 level, or did he only rise into prominence five years ago?

EDIT: And the most important question...got an ETA for the IC?

[TheWendil]

Wait, I got in?

Huh. Neat.

[Toots]

Does Brontide have a catchphrase like "I AM HERE"? No real catchphrase. When he gets going, he may roar or growl. The sparks of electricity that come out from his body also give off a low rumbling sound while his bigger moves let out loud thunderous booms.

And I'm guessing that he's a Mutant-type, right? This isn't a transformation of his, just an ordinary form? Yup, he's a mutant-type. His quirk is Electric Eel.

Is he popular with an older audience as well, or do they treat him with less fanatic devotion as All Might and his harem of fangirls? Yeah, given his humble personality and old-fashion values, adults and the elderly are fans as well. His least popular demographic would probably be teenagers and young adults. He isn't that hyped and marketable; he got to where he is with plain hard work. He's an endorser of the Tsukiji Fish Market and the fashion brand Inazuma, which mostly focuses on swim wear, beach attire and accessories, and equipment for water-related activities.

Also, was he someone who was always around top 10 level, or did he only rise into prominence five years ago? He's currently 32 years-old and has been a professional hero since the age of 19. He didn't shoot up to his spot in one go, but slowly reached it; no real major incident helped him sky rocket. However, Brontide's usually the first on the scene or shows up when things appear a bit dire; he's quite clutch. Strength-wise, his biggest accomplishments would be the times he single-handedly incapacitates criminals with giant-like quirks with one or two attacks.

EDIT: And the most important question...got an ETA for the IC? My previous estimate was within the week. So earliest would be Friday, latest would be Sunday.
